Libertà e ordine : la gestione dei tumulti urbani nel primo decennio postunitario

The paper examines the practices of dissent and the modalities of protecting order, with the aim of tracing a history of the first decade of United Italy through the prism of urban riots and the consequent response of Liberal governments. The study will focus on the op-erational effectiveness of the forces of law and order in a phase in which the establishment of the new police system was confronted with the cases of participation and elements of conflict that emerged with Unification.
